<STRONG>This is the time of year when we always take a couple weeks to play
"catch-up". We bring in some of the movies that did not play The Avon
originally, but that we think <U>should</U> have! What this usually
results in is a whole lot of movies playing at <U>very limited</U>
showtimes. <U>PLEASE NOTE THE TIMES CAREFULLY!!</U> This week and next, we will
be clearing the boards for the beginning of the Summer movie season, <EM>and
what a Summer it will be!</EM></STRONG></FONT></FONT></FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Corbel color=#0000ff size=3><STRONG>Movie industry experts
say this will be the BIGGEST Summer in movie history!!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Corbel color=#0000ff size=3>So come see us this weekend
to see ZODIAC and/or LETTERS FROM IWO JIMA the way they <U>need</U> to be seen:
<U>AT THE AVON!!!<BR></U>And, we have a new one that sure got some great reviews
in THE LOOKOUT!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Corbel color=#0000ff size=3>Plus, we have our continuing
runs of MISS POTTER and THE HOAX, both of them Decatur audience
favorites!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
<DIV><STRONG><FONT face=Corbel color=#0000ff size=3>It's a rather tricky
schedule, but there actually IS a pattern to it!!</FONT></STRONG></DIV>

procedural of how the infamous Zodiac killer of 1970's San Francisco was tracked

Robert Downey, Jr., Jake Gyllenhaal, Anthony Edwards and Mark Ruffalo. This is
NOT some mindless "slasher" film, but an intelligent and absorbing look at an
era and the hunt for a killer.</FONT></FONT></STRONG></DIV>

so-far! Critics gave this very good reviews, and at least one critic called it
the "Best Movie of 2007" so far! Yet, it sat with no one seeing it all over the
country! See this as a combination of sorts of MEMENTO and THE HEIST, and you
will be keyed in better as to what it is all about. No major stars here, but
some top-notch acting and story-telling! Here's the trailer: </STRONG><A

this is about the guy who dared to fake a biography of Howard Hughes!! He
collected a lot of money for it, and got in a whole bunch of trouble!! This is
an excellent movie that recreates those days expertly with the fashions and the
music and the sensibilities. A great supporting cast includes Alfred Molina,
Hope Davis and Marcia Gay Harden.</FONT><FONT size=3><EM> DON'T MISS
